taking it off and using vents.

Are you seeing any codes being thrown or any related problems from using vents?

Well I have tryed catch can,check valves, and a EVAC setup! EVAC works the best but then the exhaust will burn oil! On my new setup I am useing the LS6 pcv setup, but a vent on the rear driver side and a catch can vent on the driver side!

I would think with all vented that oil would drip on the exhaust headers? That is why I have the catch can!

I am switching to the Mighty Mouse method. Breathers on both sides with the hose from the LS6 valley cover going to the inlet hat in front of the turbo. Should be a nice draw through type setup just waiting to get my car back from the shop.

The oil is on my pan and on the pan bolts... but not sprayed around aother than a little on the k-member...but the dip stick remains in place so it could be from elsewhere...turbo connections etc... I'll get on it now that the tranny went in tonight.
